About this lure

The Argonaut is an angle-faced plunger developed with input from top sport fishermen around the world. It’s built for consistency and has played a key role in some standout catches over the years.

Fitted with a Kahawai skirt pattern, it’s a proven performer — especially deadly on West Coast striped marlin here in New Zealand.

Skirted Length: 400mm / 15.75”
Hook Size: 10/0 – 11/0
Leader Size: 400lb – 600lb
Replacement Skirt: Bonze BS12

Reliable, tested, and always in the mix — the Argonaut earns its place in the spread.

How to work it

The Argonaut is a trolled game lure, deployed in the spread behind a moving boat at trolling speed. Its angle-faced head creates a distinctive plunging action on the surface, drawing strikes from striped marlin.

Position it on the long corner, short corner, or shotgun line depending on sea state and lure spread preference.

Pair with 400-600 lb leader and heavy game tackle rated for big pelagics.

Work it as part of a mixed spread; the Kahawai skirt pattern and proven track record make it a reliable choice on New Zealand's West Coast.
